Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don’t want to disturb anyone.

Off: Late Night function off. Low: Small reduction in dynamic

range.

High: Big reduction in dynamic range.

Notes:

The effect of the Late Night function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with some material there will be little or no effect.

The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

1Press the [RECEIVER] button,

and then press the [CINE FLTR] button repeatedly to select:

On: CinemaFILTER on.

Off: CinemaFILTER off.
